Autism spectrum disorders

Biography:

The overarching goal of my research program is to discover how language comes to the child. In my past work I have focused heavily on how the child learns her phonological system. In my current research program I am interested in early predictors of language. Specifically, this work explores the ways in which measures of early speech perception, production, and the input to the child relate to later language in both typical development and in children at-risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
